Despite his injured list stint, Judge is playing like he never left. And while his long balls helped the Yankees win, a major move by the outfielder is all anyone can talk about.

After smashing two homers earlier in the game, Judge had been having a good day. Then in the eighth inning, he decided to make it better. Seattle’s Teoscar Hernandez belted out a long ball that looked like it would be a home run. But then Judge arrived on the scene, jumping high and grabbing the ball out of the air.

It was overall an entertaining game that saw the return of Domingo German from his 10-game suspension. Kiner-Falefa started at shortstop while Bauers, an ex-Mariner, went 3-for-4 with a home run. The Yankees also managed to get to Bryce Miller, Seattle’s rookie right-hander, who has given a stellar performance in the season so far.

Needless to say, fans of the pinstripes were elated.
